I wanted to share a little history about Guam (Where I was born), my culture and places to visit...You have to go there and let me know what you think!
The island of Guam is quite small yet very beautiful...it is the farthest Western patch of the US in the Western Pacific. Guam’s unique culture derived from it’s original native inhabitants, the Chamorros, who were on Guam as early as 2,000 B.C. The proud Chamorro culture has survived and flourished to the present day and has been influenced and enriched over the centuries by the countless Pacific Islanders, Asians, Europeans, Mexicans and North American peoples who have visited, occupied, and immigrated to Guam, and who have contributed to make Guam the truly cosmopolitan community it is today.
The culture of the Marianas Islands, including Tinian, Saipan, Rota, and Guam, reflects traditional Chamorro customs in a combination of indigenous pre-Hispanic forms, as well as American, Filipino, Spanish and Mexican traditions. The Chamorro people have lived on the Micronesian island of Guam for nearly 4000+ years, and have cuisine, dance, fashion, games, language, music, and songs of their own.
